They give you a low price and no notice that is for a "verification" then they charge almost double the first charge. This should be optional and they don't tell you until is too late, then they have a policy of no return for the verification charge. This is a scam.

Ordered an unlock code for a Huawei, went through to payment, after seeing that the phone was eligible for unlock, made initial payment, and was told they wanted another $28 to unlock the phone... so a total of $56... FALSE ADVERTISEMENT - CRAP COMPANY - DO NOT DEAL WITH / TRUST...
They do not respond to emails either - automated response - just take your money and run...
A reputable company would use PayPal to take payment - that way a refund if necessary is a much simpler process

I DONT RECOMMANDE THEM
July 16, 2021
Updated review

I have a very bad experience with this company, I've tried to unlock my phone through their website last November they couldn't unlock it, I requested a refund they gave me a credit that I can use only on their website, I used that credit To unlock the same phone after 6 months, it's been almost two months from now, still waiting, the timeframe shows 10 days didn't change in around a month, I requested a refund the second time (In their policy they said you can request a refund if they don't deliver the unlock in more than 30 days) but this time they didn't want to give me the refund, I paid around 90$ for the unlock ( at first it shows 29$ and then they ask for second payment to complete the unlock), they just tell you to wait, My friend called the carrier and unlocked it in 24 ( we bought the same phone together locked to the same carrier)
Don't wast you Money

They ask for a second payment, after taking your money they will not respond to your messages and forget to get a refund from them. They didn't unlock my phone since November 2020 and they didn't want to refund the money and they are not responding to my emails (you can't contact them via phone because they don't have customer service number) they only way to contact them via email. Scammers

Scam Alert, Stay Away
July 4, 2021

Scam alert, stay away
I submitted my code 38 days ago.
I was promised an unlock in a matter of hours. I was then asked for a second payment and to wait for 10 days.
Once those expired, I was refused a refund, and asked to wait for 30 days.
I have now exchanged more than 10 emails with an appalling customer service, who is refusing to refund, completely ignoring what I am writing and responding with automated messages.
Stay away, don't waste your money, use another service!
As of today, the phone is still locked, and I have lost more than 60GBP

This company is a SCAM. They not only couldnt unlock my phone but decided to not refund me either. I have been emailing back and forth for weeks. I waited over two weeks initially for the simunlock. I was being understanding, as the company told me they were having issues. After two weeks I asked for my refund which the site clearly states it gives. They gave me "credit notes" which is states no where online at all they even do, and have refused to refund my money further. I ended up going with Mikellunlocks from ebay. It was ten dollars compared to this 50 bucks and it was done in a matter of minutes. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY GO TO EBAY MUCH EASIER AND SAFER!

They made me pay $28 firs, then $60 more, it has been more that a month and the service has not been delivered. I demanded a refund and to stop the service immediately and they don't answer. I know now that they have done this to several clients. I want to denounce them, don't buy from them, is a scam.

SCAM DON'T USE
May 14, 2021

I paid $28 for an unlock. They took 7 days to tell me it was not possible. They want to charge me $195 for their "premium" package. Scammers, don't use!

Do not trust them. They initially quoted $28 for the unlock which was a fake check. Then they came back and asked $40+ for final unlock. And it was supposed to be done in 1 day. Now almost a week and still waiting to be unlocked.

SCAM!
May 27, 2021

Tried using them twice, 1st time the phone couldn't be unlocked so I received a credit note - no refund. The 2nd time, I applied the credit note to the 1st part of their process to perform the eligibility check, and was then asked to make a final payment I did & then they asked for an additional payment, which doesn't make sense since I already paid twice and was told my 2nd payment was going to release the codes. Now I have to go to the bank to deal with these SCAMMERS! Furthermore, they sent me multiple order #s. I cannot!

We thought after reading all the reviews this was a legit company! Save your time and money and go elsewhere! It took a month for them to tell us this wasn't going to work. We had to contact them every week just for us to hear something, and even then it was very short and curt saying "We will contact you when we hear something"! No other explanation. Then when they said it wasn't going to work, you DON'T get reimbursed! You get 1/3 of your cost back in a service credit from them to try again on another phone! Why would I want to do that when they have no business being in the customer service industry to begin with! $50 down the drain with them... NEVER AGAIN!

So when they ask to make the final payment, i tried paying twice and got charged twice and still the bar was at 50%, i waited for my phone to be unlocked and it was stuck at 99% for a week now. I dont know what to do as the website does not provide any help. As far as im concerned this site is a scam
